Trees you've cut

[singinwoodwackr]

I like this echo but its really not suited to timber this size.

However, its running very rich. I dont have a tuning tool for it. It didn't come with one, which is frustrating. It came with a chainsaw wrench and an Allen key tool but not a carb tool. Annoying.

Id love to see how it cuts after being leaned out a bit.

Muffler mod and a slight timing advance help quite a bit.

The red needle limiters have a slot in for a flat screwdriver, but that will give you only 1/4 turn of adjustment. Use a thin drywall screw or similar, thread it into the cap and pull it out. The limiter must be turned CCW the whole way before being pulled out.

Also, what chain are you running?

There is no limiter caps on this.
I need some round splined tool to tune.

Idk. Whatever chain it came with. Echos own chain? Or oregon?
It was horrid aggressive out of the box. Ive sharpened it twice without touching the rakers and it still feels jumpy.

Then this carb is different than US models. As far as the chain goes, they sell the saw with .325 nano or 3/8 LP.

Muffler mod will wake it right up. The difference is amazing. I wouldn’t advance the timing they don’t need it.

The 3/8 is horrible on them. It just jumps about. You want to convert it to 1/4. It’s much smoother. If you don’t want 1/4 then the .325 nano is good. Both much better than the 3/8.

I have 1/4 conversion kits in my website along with modded mufflers. if you’re interested.

It’s a Single D screwdriver you need for the carb.

Echo uses that only on trimmers, other shafted tools, and blowers in the US.
